Is Rory too similar to Robin

[Sunflowerso]

Thinking of using the name Rory but family member recently had a Robin. Is it too similar?

No. It's fine and a nice name!

For siblings, I would say too similar, but for cousins etc, it’s fine. Lovely name too.

Too similar for siblings.
Not too similar for more distant family relationships.

Not at all. Apart from sharing the same first two letters, they sound completely different. In fact, only the first sound is shared as the o in Robin is "oh", whereas it's part of the "or" sound in Rory.

I think you're over thinking. It's no different to having a James and Joshua born in the same year in the same family, or a Mia and Molly (for example).

Yes, as they're not brothers.

Too similar for brothers. Other family members? Not an issue at all!

Not to similar.Your choice at end of the day

I wouldn't say they are similar at all.

For siblings it would be a bit matchy matchy, but for cousins it's completely fine

I think they sound nice together

Would have said yes for siblings but not for another family member
